The film recommended by the teacher for the course of African politics and economics.
According to the teacher, it should be more from a political or ethnic point of view. Unfortunately, I don't have this awareness, but I must honestly say that this movie is really worth watching.

The teacher said that it should not be translated as "out of Africa", but more accurately from "From".
There is always something new from Africa. After

learning a lot of things in Africa, and watching this movie, I feel more and more that Africa’s purity, peace, tranquility and nature.
It is a very pure and pure land, indeed, he is poor, but maybe because of this, people can have time and have the opportunity to stop and feel carefully, instead of being driven by money every day and being caught by trivial things. .

The heroine gave me too much shock and touch.
She is so strong, so smart
and her heart is so kind, crystal clear.
She is truly living in Africa with a heart-to-heart.

The isolated life between her and Dennis made me envious.
If you can live so full and happy and simple every day, I don’t know how happy it is.

I really feel that the original author was too cruel. When things finally turned around, he wanted to push him to a more desperate place. Isn't it okay to let this person who has already endured too much feel happy?

Digression 1. I really think that the countries that have invaded should be responsible for the status quo in Africa. It is reflected in the film, but there are not many. Those terrible diseases, lack of infrastructure, and living conditions are embarrassing, but I really feel it. I hope that this step must be selective and slow, otherwise such a pure land will never be found.

Digression 2. I am afraid that women really have to rely on. She can be brave and independent in many times, but in the end she needs to have a shoulder, a embrace of her own.

    At the 1985 Oscars, this empty, hypocritical, and cutout colonial nostalgic scenery film won seven awards including best picture, director, and photography (Kurozawa Akira's shadow warrior only won the best costume award). This is the best footnote to the Western mentality and imagination of colonial history, Africa and Africans in the 1980s. To this day, I still take pride in fighting lions because of the colonial coolness created by this film.

    Africa... must go because of this film.

Out of Africa quotes

  • Denys: There's country there you ought to see... it won't last long now.

  • Denys: This tribe, we think we can tame them but we won't. They die in prison.

    Karen Blixen: Why?

    Denys: They live now. They have no concept of the future; that one day they will be let out. They think it's permanent and so they die.
